Fireproof!

Do you remember the movie Facing the Giants? The producers have come out with a new movie called Fireproof. I hear it's a great movie! It's rated PG and christian reviewers give it a "two thumbs up" (so to speak). I would like to say more about it - but I don't want to get something wrong and my memory fails me. I do know it has helped a lot of previewers already especially in areas of marriage. Want to see a good movie this weekend? This is the one!!! And safe for everyone in your family to see.

PS - Guess I have the date wrong. Release should be next weekend: 26h.

Remembering September 11th

It has been 7 years (tomorrow) when tragedy struck our land, on our soil! We forget too quickly. Stop to remember about this when you vote this year in November. I truely expect that if we elect the wrong person, what inroads that may give terrorist that we won't even know about.

Here's a poem I received by email and thought you would enjoy it.

'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news On September 11, 2001. Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.'
I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK..I am ready to go.'
I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said.
'Of course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now.'
I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.
I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken.
I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.
I was in Texas, Virginia, California, Michigan, Afghanistan.
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?
I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor...
Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames;
'Come to Me... This way. Take my hand.'
Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.
I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me?
Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are 'ready to go.' I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.
God

Results

I got the job interview a week ago last Friday, Aug. 22nd. It went well, - I could see how well suited I am for the position. Tuesday I received a letter being turned for the job. So, now its back to "square one" to see how the Lord is going to provide the income we need to live in Arkansas. We were really depending on my getting a job in order to make the new house payments. So we'll see.
